Teen Read Week

Join the NCC Libraries in celebrating Teen Read Week, an annual event sponsored by the YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) division of the American Library Association. Every year, YALSA chooses a theme for Teen Read Week and encourages young adults (those between the ages of 13 and 19) to read for fun! This year's theme is Books With Bite @ Your Library! This theme can be interpreted in a number of different ways. Read up on subjects like:

Big Bites: Prehistoric Creatures and Dinosaurs

Biting Questions: Philosophy and Religion

Sound Bites: Listen to an Audiobook

Books with Byte: Technology

Bug Bites: Animals and Insects

Bite-Sized Books: Short Stories and Poetry

Biting Humor: Funny Stories

Take a Bite: Food and Cooking

Bite the Bullet: High Adventure

Get Bitten: Monsters and Vampires

Find a reading list with suggested titles for each of these topics here. Stop by the NCC Libraries -- don't forget to browse the Young Adult section -- and pick up a fun book today!
